Hamptonville / North Carolina / United States
Blue Rhino s roots were established in 1994, from a goal to build a brand of propane tank exchanges throughout the United States that would capitalize on the growth in gas grill sales and year-round grilling. While safer and more convenient than refill, tank exchange represented a small percentage of the market at the time and was viewed as a commodity service. Blue Rhino, a brand of Ferrellgas, is one of the leading tank exchange brands provided nationwide where gasoline, grills and groceries are sold. The company is also a leading designer and marketer of barbecue grills, outdoor heaters, mosquito elimination appliances and other outdoor appliances. Blue Rhino has a location in Hamptonville, N.C.
